WARNING: IF YOU HAVE INTENTIONS TO PLAY SHOVEL KNIGHT, BUT HAVEN'T, PLEASE PRESS THE BACK ARROW AT THE TOP LEFT OF YOUR SCREEN TO NOT HAVE THE PLOT SPOILED. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.

Hey there! This is my first map submission for Minevast. I love playing Shovel Knight, so why not make it into a parkour course? Anyway, lets get to the details.
# of Jumps: 120+
Preferred Difficulty: Medium (I made it so that the jumps were fairly easy, so it would be a let down for it to be where it doesn't belong.)
# of Checkpoints: 6
How to obtain Map: On the MineVast Creative server, of course! Just go to my plot to check it out for yourself! (Plot: -27;-34)

Builders:
PeriodicGamer_
Skullduggery_

Some Backstory on Shovel Knight:
Shovel Knight travelled across the world with his partner, Shield Knight. They were the greatest adventurers in all the land, until the Enchantress used her magic powers to manipulate Shield Knight with an amulet. Shovel Knight quickly became depressed and went to a life of farming, until the Enchantress rose up again, with her Order of No Quarter to destroy and conquer the planet. (And that's all I'm gonna say about it now.)


Okay, I know it seems kinda weird to have a course with more than 120 jumps be a Medium difficulty. Well, I timed it, and you should see for yourself that if a person were to do it flawlessly, it should only take them around 3-4 minutes. I've played a few of the medium maps, and this is a cakewalk in comparison to quite a few of them (I'm looking at you cave and carpet fences! <--- Good maps though, play them! Kinda hard though.)

Anyway, here are some screenshots of the build! (Sorry it's not above a pit. At least the land is flat underneath, so it's not hard to port over... :3)
(Also these are in order of when these sections appear.)
ALSO, I'm sorry these aren't actual pictures. Just links. It's all I could do... ;-;

Your map has been REJECTED!

Reasons for this were - The shovel knight theme did not work, it felt like a bunch of random blocks were thrown together. For an amazing platformer game, this was not the best representation.

The jumps were repetitive and bland, it was very inconsistent, and the pixel art was not actually used in the course, so why is it there?


The theme had potential, however we feel maybe your interpretation was not good enough.

You also forgot the yellow wool at the end of the course...

You can always resubmit and make new courses, so don't feel down.
